A customer had a pleasant shock for staff at a pizzeria in an uptown restaurant here when he left a suitcase with a whopping 1 million Australian dollars (USD 1 million) after enjoying a hearty meal.

The 30-year-old man, wearing surfing shorts, walked into the Cafe Marco, an Italian restaurant, but staff said the customer apparently got spooked and walked out of the joint leaving the suitcase stuffed with cash.
